Sum of the first 620 square numbers

We define square numbers as numbers that when squared will equal a whole number. Thus, the list of the first square numbers starts with 1, 4, 9, 16, and so on.

What is the sum of the first 620 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 620 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 620 square numbers using the formula.

The formula to calculate the first n square numbers is displayed below:

		n(n + 1) × (2(n) + 1)
		6

To calculate the sum of the first 620 square numbers, we enter n = 620 into our formula to get this:

		620(620 + 1) × (2(620) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 620(620 + 1) equals 385020 and (2(620) + 1) equals 1241. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		385020 × 1241
		6

Next, we calculate 385020 times 1241 which equals 477809820. Now our problem looks like this:

		477809820
		6

Finally, divide the numerator by the denominator to get our answer:

477809820 ÷ 6 = 79634970

There you go. The sum of the first 620 square numbers is 79634970.
